    If he acually said that, he has no idea what he is talking about.

    The damage of the Pacquiao fight is probably still having an effect.

    Mayweather would easily defeat JMM. A fight with Shane would of course be intruiging and highly competive but I would still favor Floyd to win as he is quicker, more precise and has a better defense.

    Oscar actually isn't taking that Mayweather defeat that well, is he?

    Still...

    he's right that Mayweather has been handpicking easy fights, that's why he fought you Oscar.

    i agree. his two recent major "mega money fights" were with fighters that, at the end of the day, not many thought had a chance of beating him. I was rooting for both oscar and ricky to knock that cocky **** out but I knew it wasnt realistic.

    I do not expect PBF to come back. He is way to proud to lose the O in his record.

    However if he really comes back I expect him to only take big fights. Why sould he come back to face little known fighters like DH says. Does not make a lot of sense.

    Nice hype. JMM did the right thing calling out Mayweather, it creates the most attention. All he wants is to fight PacMan, and the statement that 'if PacMan doesn't want to fight me, I'm looking for the other best fighter', is just the perfect way to get PacMan's and his fans attention. Not only DLH, but HBO played it's part well, I mean I agree with JMM taking over the P4P#1 spot currently (probably until May), but Kellerman & friends didn't say it because they think he's, but because HBO is trying to create hype and debate between fans and the fighters. Good job.

    A year ago it is ridiculous to even suggest that Pac or JMM had a chance against PBF. PBF was supposedly a beast who would have not diffculty beating the 2.

    Now PBF is scared of them. :scaredas:

    Oscar recently was looking for easy fights, so he knows when another guy is doing the same thing.

    I am not sure he will fight little known fighters, he will fight guys who he can beat who have the biggest name. JMM is not a dangerous fighter for Mayweather. I am not sure why Oscar is saying that. Maybe it is a setup for a big fight for Golden Boy Promotions. He makes it look like a big challenge for Floyd, so if Mayweather comes out and announces it people will say wow he is taking on JMM?. JMM is a guy Mayweather can beat. The guy was at 130 recently and Mayweather at 147. Floyd is faster and younger. Good fight for Mayweather. Oscar might be up to something here. Shane on the other hand Floyd will not fight. Absolutely I can see Floyd fight JMM.

    How the hell can a retired fighter duck someone who fights two divisions below him?

    Mayweather would get knocked the f*ck out if he fought jmm.
    He always wants easy fight like oscar said.

    Get out of here with that nonsense. If Floyd actually fought JMM, he would probably win and everyone would accuse him of cherrypicking an easy fight.
